I don't worry about them.

It's just... icon feng shui, I guess.

Tee hee~

I also quite enjoyed Yes Man. I liked how the trailers didn't give away so much that the movie was unenjoyable because of them. They left themselves enough to need to be tied together. It was excellent.

This is mine currently. I always have to readjust my icons when I change my picture. xD

S-e-a-n's the original spelling of the name.



It's actually a derivative of John, according to most sources, which also explains the soft 'S' and the vowel pronunciations.

You actually like the stuff? Wow, every girl I know hates it, that's what comes with Axe around these parts.. hate..

I wear it...

It's a long story that got me into it.




Anyway, Chibithulhu GET! today.

Today was awesome. :3

Ray surprised me at work, then took me to see Yes Man and a Chubithulhu plush. (If you've ever played Munchkin Cthulhu, yes, it is playable in the game. The tag tells you how.)

It's a good movie.

I discovered some interesting things about myself today.

Such as I am completely capable of falling asleep and dreaming, whilst standing up and in full conversation, in less than a few seconds.

And that I can sleeptalk my way through these conversations accurately, record them in the register, and then only become confused when I wake up converting currency.


This means that...

I can literally do my job in my sleep.


I don't entirely know how this happened, but it happened several times today.

Oh, yeah. Ray and I also got $25 each and a shared gift certificate for the local art store.

oh did i mention i got hospital bills?

Merry Yuletide. :3

*offers up a traditional Christmas pudding with hard sauce*

I got a crock pot!
I got tights and jeans.
Lauri gave me my dress.
I got a cute little beaded box.
Of course, we got Lebkuchen.
We got a bunch of edibles in the stockings.


My mother got us Twilight.

I intend to read it out of courtesy/for the lulz, then sell it.


Oh, yeah. Shavers.

The title says it all~


Share your loot, your booty, and what you didn't get that you wanted!


 I know for sure I'm getting tights and jeans. I'm hoping Lauri will be there tomorrow to give me my dress that she bought me.

We're having our family holiday today (24 December) because my mom works tomorrow. We're not expecting much, since my family is helping us out a ton with the whole hospital thing, but it should be good.

WORK WORK WORK
BUSY BUSY BUSTY

I'm fairly used to d/m/y, but I've been filling out a lot of legal forms lately, so I've been getting confused a lot.

For a while, I used to write it YYYY : MO : DD : HH : MI.

So, like, 2008:12:18:21:45.

In class, I would always write out the month to avoid confusion.

I still can do that, but I have to squint.

I get confused when you say Alec under my posts, John.

YES. YOU MUST OBEY.

I love creepy kids' things. Photo now, please.

I don't remember it. D:

I detect spam.

Do it now.

It's too cold to sleep without a second warm body due to drafts in this apartment, and Ray left an hour ago for work.

Today's my last day before heading back to work after having been admitted to the hospital. I'm still a little trepidacious about going back to work. It's only counter, and it's only a couple of hours, but I'm still going from minimal social contact to constant social contact. It's also holiday rush at the mall. There's also the matter of what the feck to eat, since what I have been eating doesn't seem to have done me much good.

*glares at now absent gallbladder*


All in all, I think I just don't want to go back to work. I need a new job.

Ahaha, nice.

I've got a friend who loves CalorieMate since he bought it after playing the MGS series.

Being not able to work with fuzzy blankets is a luxury?

Drives YOU mad.

Drives me nowhere.

[18:19] Zombie GIR Girl: FUZZY BLANKET, GO!
[18:19] ventywind: NOOOOO!
[18:20] Zombie GIR Girl: HA! I AM WIND PROOF!
[18:20] ventywind: DAMN
[18:20] ventywind: MY ONE WEAKNESS


>_>

How is it remotely frightening?

I honestly don't understand this.

I still don't understand the big deal.

We saw so many of those at Sakura Con that I'm surprised they affect you so.

THANK YOU, EDGE.

That made my week.

MODIFICATION.

IT'S BETTER NOW.

(other link is moot now)

I like vodka, too, as well as Irish creme and Kahlua and a few other things, but I'd have to say that a good apricot ale is still my favourite alcohol. I also like to blaspheme by making cocktails with wines.

For some reason, I tend to taste the alcohol more with white wines, with a few exceptions.

I'm a sucker for a full-bodied wine, though, and I have a strong preference for Merlot in general.


Also, ha! I take complex planes. >:3

So, yeah. I'm healing perfectly. I've got bruising where the incision went through the muscle, but that's it.

Well, that and random abdominal pain that strikes late at night, though that might have been the mixture of having a carbonated soda right after wine. :\





Damn, that Merlot was good, though. Boysenberry and chocolate~

Severus is a weird name in general.

In Latin, it directly translates as "Grumpy."

We used to go out every year and get a relatively small, live tree, and plant it in a pot. After Christmas, we'd plant it in the woods behind my grandparents' house.

I miss the smell of the live tree. D:

Today, I had my follow-up appointment. I CAN HAVE BATHS AGAIN, HUZZAH! ;_;

I also got those stupid strips off the incisions, and am apparently healing up very nicely.

I dig the second picture. The colouring makes it look nice.
I can't really think of any better way to explain it.
It just looks right.

I'm sorry, I totally skipped over your post.

Thanks. :3 It took me a while of experimenting to decide whether to use the watercolours only or to incorporate the others.

I'm glad I chose incorporation.






Also, I did this from Ray's lineart: http://alexthepenguin.deviantart.com/art/Schroedinger-Coloured-106096749

If you're too lazy to actually read half a paragraph, that's a serious statement about you.



The Welsh flag is what got me into dragon mythology, initially. Well, it's what got me in enough to start a book based on dragon main characters which I later scraped due to lack of good reading in it.

I'm seriously considering converting this velveteen jumper into a fancier dress.

It's perfect for a just-below-the-knee party dress if I just fix up the neckline and straps, and if I take the waist in a bit.

Maybe a zipper up the side, too...

I've always adored the Welsh flag, mostly because of the dragon.

I also have a soft spot for the Mexican flag, but that might have something to do with my upbringing being so close thereto. I also love the story of the eagle.

I love flags that incorporate animals, be they mythical or real.



ps: I'm actually pleased that the wikipedia page differentiates between draqgons and wyverns.

Oh, god. I couldn't read that.

Dyslexia is NOT fun with alternate formatting.

Did the book affect your dreams? I have a habit of not registering a lot of things whilst reading, but then they come back strongly in my dreams.

Only some beer is worth drinking.

I currently can't drink soda or alcohol until the stomach finishes healing.

I didn't get any wine on Thanksgiving because of my stomach thing. >:|

(That was the throwing up, but still.)

How well does that command work when you hit a not-light blue panel?

I've been interested in reading this for a while, but I'm not entirely sure if it's up my alley.

It's not FURRY if there's no FUR. >:|
 
Besides, concepts of half-man and half-not has existed for CENTURIES.

i.e. Centaur, faun, mermaid et al


Snare: I approve of your comment. >_>

That's not deep or relevant to the art shown. D:<

No deal.



I don't have a working camera for the figs. Some actually new artwork might be coming up soon.

---

Second picture is new.

Painted it about three months ago. Watercolour with fountain pen.

Hey. You. Stop that.


I'm watching you, buddy.

Second full day home, and I'm doing pretty well.

Top incision is infected, but the doc just said to put rubbing alcohol on it thrice a day, so it doesn't seem too serious.

My diet's basically back to normal; still have to eat slowly, though.



Shirt cloth is irritating to bellywounds.



Tee hee. I got stitches in my bellybutton. >_>

>_>


I'm home.


I didn't have complications from micro-surgery.



I'm without a gallbladder now, as well as several gallstones.

My pancreas was basically blocked up with stones to the point of digesting itself with bile.


Several follow-up appointments in the coming weeks.

I'm out of work for two weeks (medical orders).


In six-to-eight weeks, I'm getting the plastic tube out of my bile duct / pancreas (non-surgical procedure), and will be back to not throwing up every hour.




:D

I've lived in a couple places where you can't drink the water. You can still bathe in it. People bathe in Mexico, for example.

Most of the time, if it's a sudden thing, it's just caution (though, there's also something breaking down at the plant and allowing contaminants in). If you're actually worried about it, ask someone how serious of a threat it really is.

Two albums ago much?!

Hey, now. I'm feckbroke, and I don't listen to the radio enough to know who's on how many albums and when. I've been looking to get Ten Thousand Fists for a while.

It says pantsu.

At least, I'm fairly sure it does.

It's messy, though.

You can still bathe in water that's non-potable. Just because it's not consumption-grade doesn't mean it's not bathing-grade.

Just as long as you don't drink your shower water, you should be fine.
